The extensions library is available for a looong time. Not sure why
we need a new "PortabilityKit" library.
The problem with the extension library was that its copyright was not
owned by the FSF, and I think FSF policy was that it should therefore
not be distributed as part of GNUstep.
Of course. Did someone ever talk with Ovidiu (which probably holds the
Copyright on most stuff) before rewriting everything? I'm pretty sure
it would have not been an issue for him to assign copyright.
Sigh ...
For this reason, the base additions library was added to the base
library, so extensions and portability issues could be addressed by
code which (while clearly separated from the main base library source
for clarity) would be available as part of the core distribution.
Which is an excellent decision - something like GSXML really does not
belong into Foundation and was actually one of my major complains on
gstep-base ;-).
But on the other side the question is whether Apple extensions always
belong into Foundation and not into Foundation-additions? I think it is
important that GNUstep makes a statement on this, so that I know what
classes I can safely use between Cocoa, gstep-base and libFoundation.
